Meaning and origin of Lilianna
Lilianna is a Latin and Italian name that is usually said to mean “lily”.
Lilianna is a spelling of Liliana, which is usually connected to the Latin lilium, meaning lily, though it may also have begun as a form of Elizabeth by way of Lillian. The lily has long been a Christian symbol of purity, often painted with the Virgin Mary and with saints such as Anthony of Padua. Liliana is established in Italy, Spain, Poland, Romania and Latin America, and the double n reflects a spelling also found in Poland. Lily, Lili and Liana are natural nicknames, offering a short everyday name inside a longer formal one.
